Meeting which took place at Trinidad on the 17th of November was for the purpose of deliberating on the best means for supporting the interests of the West India Planters, and contro verting the arguments that hale been urged against them. The Report of this Meeting is very long, and is not sufficiently interesting to ‘nir Readers in general. One object of this Meeting was to propose that a Newspaper should be established in this metropolifi, under the di rection of a Mr. JAMES MacQuErN. Such a pro position seems to be unnecessary, .and not calcu lated to forward the end proposed, for it would always he subject to the sucpiciou of partiality. It is, however, honourable to the present Public Press of London, since it implies that none of our Daily Journalists can be bought to support interests in opposition to their own decided opinions ; and this is a compliment which the Public Press, in a great degree, may be fairly said to deserve. On the other hand, we have surely newspapers more than sufficient to deluge the country with intelligence and ape. cilia lion. This species of property,however, seems to have a facination attached to it, and people will "burn their finger:," by engaging in it, not withstanding the numerous failures that have occurred, after the most promising hopes of sup. Port and the most confident predictions of success. GEORGE ROBERT DA W 90N, ESQ. M.P.—We regret extremely the want of room at present to insert the report in the Londonderry Northwest Farmer of Saturday last, of a dinner given in ho - Deur of Mr. DAWSON, a gentleman universally esteemed for his private character and official abi lity. Upwards of 1.50 Gentlemen of the County were present on the occasion. The town itself was all life anti bustle, in consequence of this compliment to the character of Mr. DAWSON, and as a testimony of the respect and regard of hie constituents. Mr. DAwsoN, on his entrance, was received with the warmest acciamations,which were renewed during the day. After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, Mr. DAwsoN ex pressed his acknowledgments in a speech which, for sound knowledge, right principles, and pa triotic fervour, has seldom been excelled. In the course of his speech he entered copiously into the nature of Popery, and the artifices of its advocates. He illustrated his reasoning by a reference to the works of Dr. LINGARD and Mr. BuTLEuI, staling such facts to prove that the Roman Ca tholic Doctrines were unchanged and unchange able, notwithstanding all the assertions of its modern defenders that it is much softened and improved in its character and designs.— Dr. DOYLE, and his versatility were fully described in this masterly speech, as well as other artful and violent champions of Popery. The speech made a very strong impression on the company, and proved that Mr. DAwsoN is one of the most able, enlightened, and eloquent States. l oan of the present day, and one of the most Pificient supporters of our Protestant Govern. ment. The day passed off with such festivity and decorum as might he expected among the firm friends of order and the British Constitution. it is geld that no fewer than 400 Bills were noted by the ,Bank of England last night. Mauro. BARCLAY and Co., the brewers, have jasued Leircular announcing that a reduction of Si ' Per barrel has taken place on porter and stout, THE THEATRE. Drauat-Lalitt.—lt gives US pleasure to see this Theatre resume its former aspect in crowded visitations. Last night a very numerous audience were attracted by the appearance of Mr. STN• MATH and Miss STEPHENS, in the Opera of Rob Roy, the first in the part of Francis Osbaldeslon, and Miss STEPHENS in that of Diana Vernon, which she always rendered highly interesting by the sweetness of her singing, .end the unaffected simplicity of her acting. She was not less effective last night : her voice displayed all its wonted me lody,and the charm ofsensibility which marked her acting strongly excited pleasure,sympathy,and ap. plause. Mr. SINCLAIR, as we before observed, has not been negligent in his endeavours to give force by his acting to the excellence of his voice. Ile evidently improves as an actor, and there is a natural expression in his manner that indicates good sense and feeling. Both of these distinguished Performers were highly applauded, and could not escape the fatiguing honour of en cores. Mr. Wat.r.Aca, for the first time, took the part of Rob Roy,and as far as a due conception and an energetic support of the part were required, he did ample justice to the character. All that was wanted was a more robust and athletic form to excite the idea of a terrific predatory' Chieftain. In all other respects his acting was well entitled to critical approbation. LISTON, the irresistible lAsTotc, was the Bailie _Nichol Jarvie, end a more ludicrous and diverting repre. sentation of this whimsical character can hardly be expected. This original Actor has now, as the phrase is, " the ball at his foot," and he may kick it where he pleases. Mrs. BUNN'S Helen ought not to pass without praise: it was heroic, forcible, and highly impressive. BROWNE, as Dotted, was more successful than usual, and de servedly shared in the warm applause which the Piece excited, and which altogether received adequate support from the Pet formers in general. KEAN IN AMERICA. MR. MAY'S ADDRESS ON TAKING LEAVI OF TIM CM- ZEN OF NEW YORE. " Ladies and Gentlemen—ln obedience to your honoured commands I cheerfully present myself before you, and in pur suance of my sincere wishes, I would solicit your indulgent ac ceptance of the humble tribute of my unfeigned gratitude and regard. There Are periods, however, under peculiar circum stances, when language loses Its power, and words but feebly express the emotions of the heart; 1 pray you will therefore bear with me on this occasion. " When I landed in your hospitable city, almost a bankrupt in fortune and reputation.—writhing under affliction and calami ties, the particulars of which might be painful, if not impro per, ihr me here to enumerate, )was visited by mental stupor, front which I thought nothing on earth could ever arouse me. —Not even the clamour and opposition on the night I first had the honour to appear before you could move my faculties or subdue my fixed insensibility. Ambition seemed dead, and hope cast but a glimmering ray across the desolation of my soul, when, like my better angel, your kindness descending upon me dispelled that lethargy which but a few hours before 1 had devoutly prayed might attend me through all the changes of my mortal career. " 1 t is you, Ladies and Gentlemen, and your generous sym pathies, that have restored me to myself and to society; and although my poor feelings may he unequal to the discharge of the enormous debt of ;;latitude I owe you, yet trust me, there are dear friends and kindred spirits across the waters, who, when they shall hear of the obligation you have so tenderly imposed, will assist me in blessing you and your memori.s for ever. It were idle for me to assure you, that my heart is too full, and too deeply sensible of your goodness and hospitality, to give adequate utterance to the sentiments it now entertains for you, and which, to its latest pulsation, shall be fondly che rished with the most fervent aspirations for your health and happiness. " Ladies and Gentlemen, I must, for a time, bid you au af fectionate farewell. And you will permit me to hops, that on my return from Boston, I may have the honour and happinelos of again appearing before you." . _ The following is en extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Mexico, dated Nov. 16 .—" We beg leave to wait on you with two orders relating to shippirey, which leave been made by this Government. The first is dated Oct. 26, 1325—that, from the following day, the hours of business at the Custom-house be from eight to one o'clock ; that the afternoon be dedicated exclusively •to arranging old ac. counts which have got much behind; the discharge of yes sels to begin a t d ay- b reak, and to end at haMpast ten, and goods so dispatched to be cleared from the Custom.

The second, dated Oct.; 3l—that all goods, of which a detailed invoke is not presented ut the Custom-house shall remain in the stores until the exact contents can be ascertained by the officers. The Committee ofCongress has concluded its labours of reviving the Maned, and it Is said they propose to reduce the duties nearly one half. They have not yet hod their report before the House, and we fear great opposition will be made to :a salutary a measure." An event of a very melancholy nature is re lated in a letter received yesterday from Mexico, dated the With of December. It states that a few days before, Mr. WAnn, the Bon. Mr. WALDEGRAVE, and Mr. BARING, had gone out on a shooting excursion in the neighbourhood of Mexico, during which Mr. BARING'S gun went off by accident, and killed Mr. IVALDEGRAVE on the spot.--( Times.)

REDUCTION IN TILE DUTY ON Sri Rm.—The new duty commenced yesterday, and is 7s. per imperial gallon on all spirits made in England, and the Caine duty on all spirits manufactured in Scotland and Ireland, and imported into this country. The spirit to be hydrometer proof, or, if exceeding or falling short thereof, to pay in proportion. The duty on rum will be Bs. Cid. per imperial gallon. The reduction will be about2s. per gallon on British spirits, exclusive of the ad. dition to the measure (about is. ed. more ;) and , in rums the consumer will gain the additional measure, and perhaps a small addition to the strength. SCOTS' CRURCH.—A meeting of the Congrega tion of the Scots' Church, Swallow-street, was yesterday held for the purpose of electing a successor to the Rev. John Mar shall, the late Minister. The Moderator (Dr. Manuel) pre sided. After a very warm discussion, In which some strong language was used, the Rev. Wm. Woodrofl'e was declared duly elected. The congregation were then requested to sign " the Call" to the successful candidate, which document the Moderator intimated should lie for signature in the Vestry for several days. The usual blessing was then pronounced, and the congregation separated. We are informed that the Edinburgh night mail has of late been frequently detained behind its time•by a toll-keeper on the road, who some. times refuses to rise to open the gate to permit the coach to puss.

Wrapt in tempest and gloom like yon terrible Rea, The brief passage of life has been rugged to me; Many sorrows are round me—and Elope sheds no ray, Still—Mary —were thy cold inditrrence away, I could banish the rest as I gaz'd on thy form, And repose on my grief—like yon bird on the storm. ... • UNIVERSITY INTEUAGENCE.

Mr. W. Ilankes, M.P. has returned to the University from a visit at Ketteringham-all,-near Norwich, where be availed himself of the opportunity of paying his respects to many of his constituents and other friends resident in that neighbour hood. This seems to have given rise to an erroneous state ment in some of the public prints, that he had commenced a general personal canvass in the county of Nortblir. We understand that although Mr. 11.

The young man had just returned from an errand, and ran out with his master into the yard, when a a oilman who happened to by there exclaiming 64 that the thief must be in the yard, " the young man was so struck by a conwiousnest, of guilt, that he said, " it is the first time I ever (lid such a thing," and bogged of his master to for. give hien, saying, that if his father knew it it would break his heart. On searching the midden' , a sack, containing eleven or twelve loaves, weighing about nine pounds 'each, and sev era l pounds of sugar, were found.

BROOKES'S. i John Coombes was indicted for unlawfully. entering the dwelling-house of Joshua Brookes, Esq. M.D. with intent to steal the goods and chattels therein. The prisoner pleaded .Not Gulkv. Dr. Brookes stated that on the night of the 15th of December he returned home from the [Loyal Society, where he had spent the evening, and entered his house by the door, which, ea lecture nights, is telt on the latch, for the ingress of Students. lie went into his draw ing -room for a light to go to bed, and, as is Isis custom, he espied the room to see if all was right : in his search he was surprised to see some- , thing like a man's thigh, encased in corderoy he lifted the valinse higher, and was astonished to behold sparkling eyes flash in his ; he imme diately cried out murder, and the " vil lain " came out from his hiding place, and assailed him, and in the scuffle that ensued, the prisoner attempted to choak him, and be believed that had not his cries brought his female servant to his assistance, h. should have lost his life. The prisoner eventu ally escaped: he had formerly been in his ser vice ; and he believed that his object was to phi's. tier the house. Wm. Styles, who lives opposite the Doclar's door, saw the prisoner come out on the night is question without shoes, and run away, lie 'Wag, sure as to his person, from haviag known bins while in the Doctor's service. The female servant of the prosecutor swora positively to the prisoner's identity. Mr. BARRY addressed the Jury for the de• endant, and called a witness to attempt to prove an alibi ; bat she failed to do so.—Two witnesses gave the prisoner a good character for honesty. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, without hesitation. The CuArnstAN, in passing sentence, remarked upon the enormity of the prisoner's offence, for there could be no doubt but that the indictment was made out, and that the prisoner's intent was to steal. The Court could not but remark that the prisoner had been mercifully dealt with, and the good character he had before enjoyed should be taken into cousideration. The judgment of the Court was, that lie be imprisoned six calendar months in the house of Correction, and kept to. hard labour. POT 'STEA LI Roach, Joseph Webb, Sarah Dibble, and Samuel Ivory, four individuals, took their trials before FUANCIs CONS, Esq, for stealing publicans' pewter quart and pint pots. 'l'l►e charges against the whole of the prisoners were clearly proved by the evidence against them, and the Jury severally found them all Crony. The Court then sentenced Roach to tl►ree months, Webb four months, Dibble three month•, and Ivory to six. weeks imprisonment in the House of Correction, and there kept to hard labour. The latter prisoner was, in addition, or dered to be publicly whipped. LONDON MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 6.
